You wont regret stopping in here! Kind, Knowledgeable people, and willing to help. Prices are comparable and in some cases BETTER than the big name places. Great selection, if they dont have something theyll try and get it. Just an awesome place tbatbi love going to
Great curated selection of gear. Thankful we have a local gear store in Buffalo. Great spot for experienced folks to fill up on dehydrated meals, fuel, honeystingers and other essentials. A highlight is their big selection of dehydrated meals including lesser know brands like Heathers Choice and Good to Go. Great disc golf selection too.
Great store with two locations. Top brands and almost everything you would ever need for an outdoor adventure (still trying to convince them to carry fly fishing gear. FLY Gear for Adventure! Am I right?) Owners are just great people, you really want to support them. Knowledgeable and they walk the talk.
Nice service but they didnt have what I was looking for which was disappointing because it was just a flashlight and tent stakes. Dont get me wrong, they had some, just not a wide variety and not what I was looking for. Will be back though because they have a pretty good variety of gear, knowledgeable staff, and are local.
Needed to find some hiking shoes and boots that fit me well. This local place was great, with knowlegable staff willing to take the time to help me.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Extremely nice and helpful on the phone. FYI they price match online stores. Just bring in the site and show them on your phone. Feels great to support small local businesses! Give them a try for all your hiking, climbing and outdoor needs!
Best store for hiking/camping gear around. Customer Service is top notch!!! Bought my backpack and had it fitted, absolutely amazing service!!!!!! Highly, highly recommended!
Excellent, knowledgeable service and quality products. The store is not a big box store. The products seem to have been chosen with care and the owners and staff are very knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each.I received excellent assistance in choosing a water purification solution, insect repellent, hiking boots for SE Asia, and a backpack Ive been looking for for 3 years.Gear for Adventure had some nice clothing options too. I restrained myself this visit but Im looking forward to my next trip.
Great store. Everyone is very helpful and friendly.
Man I love this place great people and great gear!
Very nice store and tons of stock!
Amazing customer service!! Very patient with my indecisive self and helped me decide!Update: had a manufacturer issue with a product I bought (not their fault) and they exchanged it! Amazing customer service!!
Staff is super helpful and nice. They know tons about outdoor activities and are always interested to hear about your adventures.
Everyone here is super friendly, and very helpful. They will order gear for you and if you decide its not exactly what you were looking for they wont pressure you to buy it.
Great store no super store great staff
Lots of really cool camping gear and packs. They also carry disc golf stuff! Nice and knowledgeable staff makes every visit a good one. Support local small business.
Great Staff. Frank was very knowledgeable. Will go here from now on because of the service.
Hi All.I have been perplexed for a few days to write this review because growing up, my parents had their own business, so I know the trials and tribulations of owning your own business. Although, I feel the Owners need to hear this.Last Friday (19 March), I purchased a Yeti mug from Gear for Adventure. I know I could have bought it online for a few dollars cheaper, but I always want to give business to the local business owners. I have been going to Adventure for years (even when it was located more in the village where the Logical Store is at now). Over the years I bought a Go Pro, Colombia Wet Shoes, Knives, many Yeti tumblers and thermos, jacket for my mom, helmet liners, reflective bike vests, etc. As you can see, Im a pretty loyal customer.Now, continuing back to my story. Last Friday, I bought my dad a Yeti Mug (total price with tax around 29.00). The base of the mug was too big for his trucks cup holder, so he gave it back to me. On Wed 24 March around 5pm, I returned it with the receipt, and this women (dont know her name), first of all, looked at me and the mug, paused, and didnt say anything. I spoke up again, stating I need to return this for the reason I just stated. Her response (which wasnt even in a nice tone), was it will cost you a 15% restocking fee. I asked, Why? She said it was used. I stated, no my dad never used it. She said, there was a Yeti sticker on there.I guess when I bought the Yeti mug, they put in a sticker in the bag (I dont ever use stickers so I forgot they do that). I said, well I can take the sticker off. She stated, sorry, its used and I cant sell it new so the best I can do is only give you back 85% of what you paid for it.I honestly couldnt believe what I was hearing. I said, Really, you wont refund my entire $28.00 because of a sticker? She said, yep! I put the mug back in the bag and stated, this is poor customer service, and I spend a lot of my in the store and reassured her I wont be buying anything from this store again.In my years of business with my parents, we were always told Customer is always right. Yet, I understand there are those customers who try to get over on a company. I wasnt trying to screw anyone out of money and I almost kept the Yeti mug because I love Yetis, but this one with the Handle on it and wide base, I know I would never use, so I just said Ill take it back.I really couldnt believe she was willing to squabble over about $4.00 and now lose me as a customer let alone word of mouth to my family and friends.It is unfortunate that future sales lost to Gear for Adventure because a women who wouldnt refund my money. I hope the owners read this and change their philosophy for returns. I really did enjoy going there but the principle of it is if I lose 15% on returns, I wont be doing business. Karen
Very friendly and informative staff.
The staff here was so helpful!
Super helpful group! Helped me find everything that I needed for my upcoming adventures.
Not much of a selection for fall winter hiking clothing
At this store you can find many items that are outdoors camping and camping. I am a Boy Scout and I like to go to this store if I want to get something new for a campout that is upcoming. There is also a 5% discount if you are a Boy Scout here.
They were a great help to me! I also found out that they rent kayaks!!!
The folks at gear for adventure are friendly and have very good knowledge of all their products. I highly recommend you stop in see all they have to offer .
Great assortment of camping and outdoor gear. The staff is very helpful as well.
This place is what youd expect for Hamburg and the whole hiking, camping, outdoor lifestyle things. What you dont expect... is how knowledgeable the two ladies at the store are! The prices are a little high, buttttt the quality of the things they sell seems to be on point.I had several questions about products they had and the salespeople were very knowledgeable and friendly; never felt rushed and eager to help. I will definitely come back here for all my trek, hiking, camping needs. Heck they even rent kayaks!
Love, love, LOVE this store. Knowledgeable, friendly, NOT pushy staff who can answer your questions and point you in the direction you need. They offer rentals on all kinds of outdoor equipment so you can try before you buy. Absolutely one of my favorite stores, hands down.
Had to stop in for something mid trip between Pittsburgh and Letchworth State Park. Called that morning after realizing we had forgot it, and they were kind enough to hold the last one for us! Not sure when we’ll be through town next but you’ll definitely get our business again next time!
The staff is great. Great selection
Great deals
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Vast selection of hiking and camping gear.
The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. I asked about 20 questions on different things and they were patient thorough with explaining different things
Website looks good will visit someday to renta snowshoes or a kayak
High quality outdoors gear sold by the most knowledgeable, nicest people ever
Great selection, amazing service.
Awesome store!
Great place for any outdoor/adventure needs! Locally run place, the owners are absolutely wonderful and the staff very helpful! Recently bought a kayak paddle here, they helped me decide the best one for me with no pressure to buy a more expensive model. Made the purchase very personal and enjoyable!
BEST selection of hiking/trekking equipment in town, especially hiking boots/shoes also very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lucky to have such a well equipped store in the south towns!
I love this store. They have a nice selection of gear and usually I walk out with something I couldnt live without. At times when I cant find what I am looking for the friendly staff and owners are more than happy to order for me. The ability to rent things like snowshoes, skis, and kayaks from them is a valuable resource to have around as well.
Wide selection of outdoor products. We bought hiking shoes, tents, backpacks and other hard to find camping gear. Lots of kayaks!
Great store run well by great people. Very knowledgeable since they actually use the items they sell unlike the big box stores. You ask a question and get a real answer, not someone reading the label to you (as if you hadnt already read it). If they dont have what you need they fill find it for you as well.
Thrilled to have such a wonderful local outdoor shop. The owners and staff are very helpful and have been able to answer our questions thoroughly and take the extra step to offer invaluable advice from experience. Friendly people and a place where you feel like part of a community and not just a customer.
Great locally owned business! Love their gear and sales. If they dont have what you need they are great about getting it in for you. You should stop by and shop around. They have lots of cool little things too.
Good place! So much more then you would think. Love the clothes and sneakers! Tons of accessories!
Really amazing staff and high quality products!
Great experience at Gear for Adventure. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Quality brands and nice assortment of products.Store strives to include patrons in outdoor experience by hosting events through the year (hiking, snow shoeing).
Hands down WNY best outdoor outfitter store. Large selection of excellent brands and personal attention from the staff.
I love coming here for all my outdoorsy needs when I am back in town. I just bought a pair of Oboz hiking boots and they were SO helpful in me finding the right pair for a hiking trip I’m planning this summer. They have a wide variety of frolf discs too! The owners and staff are experienced and will help you find all you need based on your needs!
This is the go to place in WNY for all of your outdoor needs.Great owners and super knowledgeable staff. Thank you for all of your help over the years in finding great products for all of my familys adventures!!
Gear for Adventure is THE best outdoor/backpacking store ever! The owners, Kevin and Sarah, are so kind and friendly, and are always in the store to help you find what youre looking for. They will always steer you right, and never sell you something you dont need. I have shopped at their store many times and have never been disappointed.
Came into town and tried a number of boat rental places. Turns out this was the only RESPONSIVE one (they called me back), They were also ACCOMMODATING, and still the BEST VALUE based on list prices for rentals too - and all around a pleasure to work with. If I am ever back in town I will rent here again.
This place rocks!!!! And if you climb rocks it has stuff for you too!Im preparing to live an entire year on my motorcycle. They are helping me get outfitted with the right gear.
Our go-to store for all of our adventure needs! They have a really great, large selection of all products! The owners are wonderful and the employees are great as well!
I have been buying from GFA for years. Everyone is extremely helpful and really know their gear. It is a top flight store that blows away the big box stores.
Very reasonably priced, with knowledge staff. They do rentals of lots of equipment.
Great locally owned outfitters. Best in Buffalo. Better than Cabelas any day.
Higher quality lines of gear and apparel, yet reasonably priced. Great selection too.
Always has some really cool designs for camping, or glamping. Clothes, coolers, ice packs, snow shoes, kayaks, everything except a wet suit it seems (when I asked they said theres a scuba place down the street, so theyre probably just avoiding competition).Water purification tablets are $10 (look carefully, one brand takes 4 hours, another 30 minutes, but the 4 hours tastes better)Saw what looked like a decent pair of snowshoes for $50 which is a steal.And theres a solar powered, USB rechargeable, collabsible lantern with 4 functions and around 4 hours battery depending on the mode. If youre outdoorsy, take the time to fit in a visit before your next adventure.
I had a ton of questions and the girls were patient and resourceful. Thank you!! I had so much fun learning from them.
The owners are wonderful. I recently bought a pair of hiking boots from them, got home, tried them back on, and realized that the boots where too big, they exchanged them with out a hassle, actually, they where really pleasant about it. I will now purchase all our outdoor adventure gear there. and they have a big selection of supplies, way more then the big name stores.
Love it. Staff will go out of way to help you to their fullest. Been going to them for years for all my disc golf needs
I liked it alot. They were very helpful. They have a lot of good stuff. And the prices arent bad
This was my first time visiting the store. Went in to pick up a couple last minute items for a camping trip and found everything I needed and more. The store has an excellent selection of high quality outdoor products. Im looking forward to giving them more of my business in the future.
Great little gear shop. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff. They may not have every brand and option of everything, but they have everything you need and good prices.
Very helpful and nice people.
Ive been coming in to this store for years now, and always have an amazing experience. The owners treat you like youre a long time friend, and go above and beyond to make sure your set up with the right gear for whatever it is you want to do.You simply cant find service like this anywhere else in WNY, its that good. They know their products inside and out, and can answer any question you might think of.I went in today to get a new pair of hiking shoes, and Kevin worked with me to try on several pairs until we found the absolute perfect fit. He always has a smile on his face and genuinely cares about the customer.If you havent been here yet,. I highly recommend you stop in and browse around.
Kevin (the owner) went out of his way to correct my order and make sure I received the correct items quickly, he was very reachable and was in constant communication with me. They have top notch outdoor gear and great customer service.
Very cool store. A lot of higher end outdoor gear, but also some really cool cheap finds as well.
High end outdoor store, good selection, eastern mountain sports closed. Family operated. Things I couldnt find at dicks or cabellas, they have! Worth the extra money, support local business!
Kevin and company always go above and beyond.
Friendly staff always helping ypu fibd exactlly what you need. If they dont have it they will purchase it for you.
I was in a huge hurry for a rack for my truck so I could carry my kayaks. Kevin jumped through hoops, special ordered it, and made it happen. There were some issues with the Yakima racks fitting my truck but even after they were installed, he made it right with zero hassle.On a size note, they sell Wilderness Systems Kayaks so they must be good people :)
